Joining the environmental conservation non-profit organisation was the spirited team from Protea Hotel, dedicated residents and eThekwini Parks Beach maintenance team.
“What an incredible day. A massive shout-out goes to each and everyone who showed up to make a real difference,” said Romy Wenzel of Clean Surf Project.
Participants went above and beyond during the clean-up, racking up steps as the initial meeting location, Illovo Africa Lodge’s beach access, was knee-deep in river water. Participants diverted along the unused railway track before reaching the beach.
A total of 20 bags of litter were collected, in addition to one tyre. Another clean-up will be organised in May for round two, taking place once the river mouth has naturally breached. If you would like to get involved, contact Romy Wenzel on 083 733 6468 or email cleansurfproject@gmail.com.
